By upgrading it, you broke it and probably most of the configuration utilities as well, since they all use Python. CentOS/RHEL expects a working Python 2.3. If you need Python 2.5, I suggest you install it in parallel and return 2.3 to a working state. If you just need yum, rebuilding it against 2.5 would probably work, but I wouldn't trust having a system with a broken/unxepected Python.
